Thanks for the nice comment! I figured animating the collectibles would make them stand out more.This game jam was also good practice for my music skills.
Really good art! The story was a bit short, I thought it would lead up to something more ominous, but otherwise, it was great! Overall, I like the gameplay!
Oh, another spaceship game! The movement feels awesome, the perfect example of easy to learn, hard to master. Sometimes the time between debris spawning felt really long, like 5 seconds of nothing. I think the map idea has a lot of potential. I love the variety of bullets to dodge! I think it needs some music to get rid of the silence.
I thought it would be a little creepier, but the "home-made" sound effects added a layer of humour! I like the attempt to show you moving down the twisted depth, as it disappears like a progress bar, pretty unique. Gameplay is a little bit boring, more enemies would have added some variety but I saw the comment about the bat.
Fun game with unique gameplay mechanic! I think it could have done with a bit more polish, and at times I was confused by new things, but I figured them out eventually. Good entry!
The art and animations are amazing! I liked the game but found it a bit too easy. Once you had a swarm of robots you could take on anything in your path. I would love to see more content!
Fun game! I liked the art and the setting. The achievements were cool to see in a game jam game and made me want to play more! I really liked the creative upgrades you could get. Overall, great game!
The story in this game was great and really creepy! It made me want to know more about the world this takes place in. The gameplay wasn’t too exciting, but I know that this was a game made to tell a story rather than to have the best mechanics. Overall, great entry!
Thanks for praise for the art! I intended for the Bulwark (the armoured ship) to be high health, low energy but I think I gave it a little bit too much energy lol. Still, I’m happy with how the balance turned out!
I loved this! The art, the sound, the ambiance, all great! The only thing was that I accidentally softlocked myself sending a rock down a hole I hadn't looked down and had to restart, but that was probably on me for not looking down in the first place.
Love the game! I like the style, the dithered faces were unsettling and added to the atmosphere. Gameplay is simple and easy to learn but fun. Wish it was a bit longer and had a bit more depth. Maybe some different dice sides that different things? Overall, loved the theme.
The gamefeel is strong in this one. The ambiance feels great! Sady, not one bit :( The genre switch halfway through suprised me, being a little bit jarring. I think it could have worked better if the game started with a small amount of stealth required to ease the player into the switch. However, I really like the art, and the story is interesting, if a bit fast paced, which I can understand due to it being a game jam game. Overall, really like it!
Loved the artstyle and the tutorial, knockoff clippy was pretty funny. Very unique premise but I got stuck on a level and couldn't find the link. Overall, pretty good game!
Fun puzzle! There seems to be a bug where if you aren't fullscreened, the screen turns red, but it's still 1 bit at least. Liked the pixel effects and animations like the bubbles and the corals.
Sound design is definitely this game's strong suit. The sound really added to the creepy ambiance. Game play was good and made me unnerved. The extensiveness of the settings suprised me! Liked the jumpscare whenever a fish got you. Nice game!
Made it in 10 days! Pretty satisfying for an idle game. It was really fun watching the little miners race each other in their tunnels, and when loads gathered in one tunnel, it made you feel super powerful. I like the twist of making it a short, replayable optimisation game instead of a "click until infinite" sort of idle game, fitting for a game jam when games will only be played for short times.
Very fun endless game. I wish the tutorial was a bit more intuitive, because it took a little while before I figured out how the debt worked, and how you needed to have no debt to progress through shops. I liked the animations for the miner and the sound design is very good! I spent a good 30 minutes mining!
Thanks for the constructive criticism! I was worried I would make it too complex and it would be frustrating to learn. I’d like to add more complexity if I make a post jam build and continue developing this game.
Not going to repeat what the other devs have said, but if you genuinely want to be a good game developer, please don’t use AI. (And don’t blatantly lie about using it either!) It’s looked down upon in this community as lazy and low quality. Submitting slop to game jams will never get you any passive income, and there are better methods that are more beneficial to society that will get you more money, aka, a job. I genuinely hope you chose to do something not as sleazy as this.
Good idea! I originally had different types of debris that moved differently but it made the game feel unfair. Now the game has changed so much, I’ll have to try that again to see if it works any better.
This game isn’t even in the jam anymore; it’s been uploaded to a different one. I wish people would actually join game jams to challenge themselves instead of for quick attention.
Darn you beat me >:( oh well, yours was way better. I didn't expect high results for my first game jam, but I placed much higher than expected! Congratulations on such a high placement in entertainment!
Thanks for the nice comment! I wanted to have the tasks close automatically but it felt very abrupt and you couldn’t see the finished product. A timed closing I thought would interrupt the game’s flow, so I opted for click to close. I can see your point of view about it though, it is slightly annoying. I submitted the game pretty close to the time limit and didn’t have time to fix the final build. Thanks for playing!
Really fun game! Wish it came with instructions , it was obviously a super ambitious project. I'm suprised at how much got done! Pretty complex to understand, and I found a teeny tiny glitch that somehow gave me infinite money and let me beat the game in one round. My final score was 182170573 with $17078362. I have no idea how I achieved this lol. This was really cool for 4 days!
Enjoyable experience. Wish there was a counter or something similar at the end of the game showing how many times you died to incentivise surviving and so that people could compare high scores. But good game!
